USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell pits a fiercely independent beauty against a devilish investigator.

Set apart by her ethereal beauty and fearless demeanor, Ophelia Killoran has always been a mystery to those around her—and a woman they underestimated. No one would guess that she spends her nights protecting the street urchins of St. Giles. Ophelia knows what horrors these children face. As a young girl, she faced those horrors herself, and she would have died…if not for the orphan boy who saved her life.

A notorious investigator, Connor Steele never expected to encounter Ophelia Killoran on his latest case. It has been years since he sacrificed himself for her. Now, she hires orphans from the street to work in her brother’s gaming hell. But where does she find the children…and what are her intentions?

Ophelia and Connor are at odds. After all, Connor now serves the nobility, and that is a class of people Ophelia knows firsthand not to trust. But if they can set aside their misgivings and work together, they may discover that their purposes—and their hearts—are perfectly aligned.

Review: 

Connor and Ophelia have a checkered past and are now forced to work together several years later. They both came from a similar background but things are way different for the both of them. They don’t trust each other but they have no choice to work together. Those are the kind of stories I love to read! I enjoyed the push and pull with the characters. Once they let their walls downs and got to know each other, I was so happy! The characters were well developed and I loved seeing their relationship unfold as I read.

So this was my first time reading an historical romance in a long time. Whenever I try to read I usually end up bored to tears. I’m happy to report that was NOT the case with this story! This was my first time reading this author and she now has a new fan! The story was engaging, held my attention and talk about an emotional roller-coaster. The last few chapters had me at the edge of my seat and I couldn’t read fast enough. The plot was very refreshing and I read this book in one day. I will be checking out the first book “The Hellion” as well.
